Ok, Im not sure about this one. The price is too good to be true so it's probably a pricing error.
I was looking for prices on a 4TB M2 SSD on amazon, and this came up as a recommendation. Obviously its not an M2, but damn its cheap. These were going for $1300 - $1500 here at local stores. It's out of stock, but they are taking back orders, and apparently dont charge you until it is available. I didnt really want a PCIe add-in card SSD, but ordered anyway because if it actually gets sent out, ill find a use for it.
Anyway, sorry if this isnt worth posting, but hell, maybe some one else is willing to take a gamble on one too

      such an ozbargain thing to do.

    • sanrs on 16/06/2021 - 17:14

      the card is a RAID card with 2*2T NVMe card (probably SN750)
      I ordered two of them back in April when it was showing out of stock, but still taking order. So did not post here….
      It was in backorder status till last week, I heard the great news, they are shipping.
      Think Its a price bug from Amazon international store….

      • Italkdigital on 16/06/2021 - 17:29

        I wonder if the NVME drives can be swapped over too another brand like the Samsung NVME drives

          not sure, you want to chuck in 24T NVMe drive?
          4T is decent capacity already…
          I saw some below link showing it is SN730 *2 inside, but I checked that SN730 only has 1T as highest capacity.
          really wondering if there are 2          SN750 inside.

          • DanielP2 on 17/06/2021 - 11:40

            @sanrs: i was wondering the exact same thing

            in a review for either the sn730 or the an1500 (i cant remember which now sorry, i was doing a lot of reading at the time) they mentioned that the sn730 comes in 512gb, 1TB and 2TB.

            problem is though, they could have just been assuming this. I havent seen any photos of the 4TB model with the heatsink removed so cant confirm either way.

    • DanielP2 on 15/06/2021 - 23:37

      hard to believe it has been down that cheap before. i wonder if its getting confused between the 1TB and 4TB models
      either way, a 2TB M2 drive would set me back $4-500 at the moment, so a 4TB for $500 is still ridiculous

      • netsurfer on 16/06/2021 - 00:23

        Not so sure on that one. You basically need a good reason to get PCIe gen 3 x4 4TB NVMe SSD right now. While it is rated PCIe gen 3 x8 max, good luck getting it to work at PCIe gen 3 x8 mode.

        A more sensible m.2 currently is around $250:

          I see. Thanks for the info, I don't use Amazon that often. I saw the message after I successfully placed the order (saying "Thank you for purchase from Amazon Marketplace…."). But yeah…check the product page it displays as Amazon UK. Maybe you are right

            @willthefomo: I had a look through previous emails from amazon. It appears to say that whenever you order from Amazon UK or US. Hopefully returns wont be an issue if they do something like send out the 1TB cards instead..

  • reactor-au on 15/06/2021 - 23:51

    It's basically 2x nvme gen drives in raid on a riser card to get those speeds without gen4. Would check a few reviews first, definitely avoid marketplace sellers.

        Umart is $1299
        PLE is $1499
        etc

        So yes if it gets honoured at this price … it's basically 1/2 -> 1/3 of the price other places are selling it for.

        IF we get sent the 1Tb version instead of the 4 … then Amazon's policy is that we could return it for free as it's their fault basically as the wrong product was sent. That's one thing I love about shopping on Amazon. the level of customer service you receive.

        • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2021 - 00:33

    • netsurfer on 16/06/2021 - 00:40

      Did you read the other comments? It's been like this since April as pointed out by the second comment.
      https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08HBPMPZ2?context=se…

      The thing most people have not noticed is that this is a PCIe gen 3 x8 rated NVMe SSD. Problem is, on most systems, you are most likely left with a PCIe x4 slot (as you would save your PCIe x16 slot for your GPU). Sure, if you have a server class motherboard and chipset AND server class CPU, there could be sufficient PCIe lanes to fully utilise this. Yes, it does operate in PCIe gen x4 mode.

      Again, it comes down to whether getting a 4TB PCIe gen 3 x8 (or even x4) makes sense right now.

      • TeddyBear on 16/06/2021 - 00:42

        My board has an x8 directly from the CPU, just need to share it with the GPU. Besides, since the cats already out of the bag, this thing is just 2x 2TB Nvme drives sandwiched on an enterprise RAID controller anyhow. You could shove those in a laptop if you wanted. Although the firmware has these pegged at full power all the time.

      • TeddyBear on 16/06/2021 - 00:43

        You don't need a server class platform for this, you just need to be able to read motherboard block diagrams or drop down to x4 speeds.

        • netsurfer on 16/06/2021 - 00:49

          So we are looking at RAID 0, and is this thing really worth running in x8 / x8 configuration? I guess people into this would have a higher end motherboard which supports this. For people on a budget, they wouldn't look into this.

          2x2TB setup… Hm….

          • TeddyBear on 16/06/2021 - 00:52

            @netsurfer: I don't understand what more there is to contemplate given it's $123.23 per TB of TLC NAND w/ DRAM cache. This is basically an insta buy or an insta Broden for a now ever growing group playing at home.

            • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2021 - 01:03

              @TeddyBear: How much would those 2TB nvme drives retail for individually?

              • TeddyBear on 16/06/2021 - 01:05

                @[Deactivated]: As much as people are willing to pay for a 2TB OEM sticker NVMe drive without retail packaging.

                • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2021 - 01:39

                  @TeddyBear: I'm not looking to sell them. Just thinking I may rejig my upcoming pc build. Put the 980pro in my PS5 instead, shuck this and use both 2TB drives in my mobo. Was just wanting to know if $250 for a previous gen m2 drive was worth it.

            • netsurfer on 16/06/2021 - 01:19

              @TeddyBear: Per TB price, it is good if you considered it's NVMe. However, my experience with RAID 0 (and even RAID 5) is mixed - and that's a nice way to put it. Then, there is also the question of NVMe in general. Though, I am pretty sure you would have other m.2/NVMe SSD(s) in your system already so it is not going to be only 1 NVMe SSD in your system.

              I get why people with a high end gaming system would find it attractive. My main issue is the 2x2TB setup. I just won't do RAID 0 and not keen to buy 2x2TB NVMe PCIe gen3 SSDs. It's just me - more that I've got to stop buying more NVMe gen3 toys.

              • TeddyBear on 16/06/2021 - 01:23

                @netsurfer: There's also the case if you're planning for an Alder Lake pci-e 5.0 platform, you'd be wasting more pci-e 5.0 lanes than you ought to without the speed benefit. Same goes for X570. But even so, x4 3.0 is plenty for most people.

      also if you can point me in the direction of a 4TB SSD with close to this speed (4TB SATA QVO models definately dont count) for a similar price, PLEASE do, it would be greatly appreciated. From what i can tell the cheapest 4TB M2 drives start at around $900 at the moment. Hell, having said that id even take a 4TB sata M2 drive at this price if they exist.
